About this file
This document is a Memorandum to the File justifying a brand name sole source acquisition for Vidterra COMPASS software licenses for the Marine Corps Tactical Systems Support Activity (MCTSSA). The procurement supports the Combined Joint All-Domain Command and Control (CJADC2) - Marine Air-Ground Task Force (MAGTF) program, with two specific software license line items: 3 Annual COMPASS Pro License CPU Cores (12/fewer Deployment VM) and 1 Annual COMPASS Advanced License CPU Cores (24/fewer Deployment VM), both with a 12-month term from 07/28/25 to 07/27/25.
The justification emphasizes that the Vidterra COMPASS software is unique, providing dynamic full-motion video receipt and distribution at the tactical edge without complex network infrastructure, and offering automated services not available in other applications. The software is specifically designed to operate within a virtualized infrastructure aligned with MAGTF Command and Control Prototypes, with no identified alternative system meeting the mission-critical video compression and transmission requirements for the Marine Corps' virtual environment. The software will be procured directly from VIDTERRA, LLC in Wilmington, NC, through their authorized resellers, using a brand name exception to full and open competition.
